Enhanced ES Series Radios

EF Johnson Technologies, Inc. has enhanced its ES Series of Project 25 compliant mobile and portable radios with Project 25 Packet Data and many other new features. Data in a land mobile radio opens up new applications for first responders. For example, the ability of a police officer to use a computer in their vehicle to run NCIC queries or get visuals and warrants could make the difference in an emergency. EF Johnson has also introduced Over-the-Air-Programming (OTAP) enabling officers to provision new radio personalities without having to send the radios to a service shop. The radios are programmed over the air, which saves considerable time. The new P25 Conventional features include an Out of Range indicator that transmits a P25 Data beacon at regular intervals to alert the radio that it is out of range, and automatic registration that registers a radio on the network when it moves from site to site.
